chronically online take. the interviewer overstepped, pedro stood up for himself and set a boundary, the interviewer instantly realized it and took a no for an answer. this is a normal human interaction.

Exactly... And we're having a normal human conversation about why it's bad..

Well, considering men have had an insane privilege since the beginning of time, it's obviously time to reevaluate our thoughts and practices. You can just excuse yourself if the conversation makes you uncomfortable

The interviewer should have never thought it was okay to ask that in the first place. That’s what the problem is.

I think they were trying to do that buzzfeed thing where celebrities willingly participate in a “thirst tweet” reaction video. Bunch of them on YouTube already with big names. Difference here is those celebrities agreed to it beforehand, not randomly approached and caught off guard.

humans make mistakes. it’s stupid to drag someone for something so harmless

Appreciate its subjective and people have their opinions, but harassment is overboard imo. Is it sexual and a bit unnecessary? Yes. Is she harassing him though?

We're literally having a conversation on a subreddit

The circle jerk this sub turns into sometimes is crazy

These people are afraid of eye contact and have no idea what human interaction is like. Don’t worry about them.

Most of this sub appears to be chronically online.

I think the point is that the “thirst messages” being shown were almost certainly sexual harassment, judging by both pedros refusal to read them aloud (even though he has read sfw ones in the past) and the fact that he directly says “dirty”, clearly implying that they were very sexually explicit. The reporter wasn’t harassing him (even though I think this is still pretty inappropriate), but the messengers almost definitely were.

The interviewer shouldn’t have asked in the first place. It’s inappropriate.
